[QUOTE="Yair, post: 2296690, member: 10913"] I want to do more reviews but, as was said above, I lack the time. I also haven't read many of my books/pdfs with the scrutiny I do when I'm writing a review, so don't feel I can review them properly without even more time. (Of course, I can't review products I don't own - such as the two you want reviewed.) All of this isn't really helping, I know. I write reviews mainly when I disagree with the current reviews or want to expose an unreviewed work for excellence or abysmal failure. I think the best course of action for a publisher is simply to ask for reviews. If a publisher says "hey, this work hasn't been reviewed yet, does anyone want to do it?" I'm far more likely to review it. If I had bought any of the two products mentioned by you in your post, I'll be probably be working on their review right now. Another thing that might, tangently, increase reviews is to say thanks & link from the company site, especially for larger companies that actually see a lot of traffic to their site and have fans. I don't believe giving review copies is out of line, but giving other works or rewards is. I have no idea what affect, if any, reviews have on sales. I suspect they have little effect for cheaper products and more effect for more expensive products. Cheap pdfs are simply not affected (basing my opinion on stuff Phil Reed said here), but things like a 40$ pdf or PC-Generation or online-game program will probably be significantly affected. (Print products are, by their nature, less affected.) [/QUOTE]
